New Li-Ion batteries get 10x boost

As Stanford researchers, report a heavy boost to current Lithium-Ion technology is just behind the corner. We are to expect up to 10 times more performance out of the same-volume batteries. As the new invention is getting a patent application filed, the assistant professor of materials science and...

Either the batterys will start to break down a lot faster, or the price of them will be huge. Either way, expect an increase in phone prices. That, together with that new law going around of banning 2 year contract deals, and the price of a new phone will get pretty high me thinks...

It's about time. We've needed a battery improvement for so long now. This will certainly ease some constraints on new mobile technology - though expect manufacturers to quickly use up this extra power in an effort to produce faster and better-equiped devices.

oki you think this is a breakthrogh!!!??don't be stupid!!i've seen a documentary on discovery chanel made at the nokia factory where they were testing the phones..they had nokia X with a batery of 6500 mAh for testing but ,sold to people that same nokia with a batery of 900 mAh..so u might wonder ...way?MARKETING!!!today nothing is made to last because the big companyes they would not do so much money..imagine if you would buy a car soo good made and it will last for 30 years with no problemes ..where is the businnes in that??

lol that means nokia phones will have a talktime of 40 hours and sony ericsson phones will have talktime of 100hrz which is ridiculus.and nokia standby will be almost 3 months and sony ericsson stanby will be almost 6 months ..hahahhah thats definilety wat we want...a phone tht will never run out of battery ..lol

if u dunt need N95-8Gb dunt buy it.. if u have battery problem all u gotta do is upgrade it to the new firmware and also just buy the NOkiaN95-8GB battery and use it in the N95.. u can do that actually.

the mobile produces never seemed bothered about the batterylife on the mobiles they were producing now days as when they first started you could use your mobile about 4-5 days without charging,but they didn"t relise the cost of running your mobile at all,they put that many functions on them that o.k might look good at first but you were unable to use them as you battery was drained out,thats what got the n95 such a bad feedback an with the cost of the mobile,contract plus charging this made the n95 a very expensive mobile to run an buy,nokia then learned from this a bit an put the 1200mah battery on the 8gb one an my n95-3,there should be a law for mobile produces to make sure they stick to a standed rule making sure a mobile they produces lasts 2-3 days without charging then people can just buy any mobile they want without worrying about the batterylife on it as i beeen kept to the standed rule
